Seat belts
8801947d
WARNING!
If the seat belt has been exposed to large
load strain, in a collision for example,
the entire seat belt assembly including
reel, mountings, screws, and lock must
be replaced. Even if the belt appears
undamaged some of the protective
properties may have been lost. Replace
the seat belt if it is worn or damaged.
Never make any modifications or repairs
to the seatbelt yourself; always allow a
Volvo workshop to carry out the work.
Keep in mind the following:
· do not use clips or anything else that
prevents the belt from lying correctly.
· ensure the belt is not twisted or caught on
anything.
· the lap belt should sit low - not over the
abdomen.
· stretch the lap belt over the lap by pulling the
diagonal shoulder belt as illustrated above.
Each seat belt is intended for one person only!
To release the seat belt: Press on the red button
in the lock. Allow the reel to pull the belt in.
The lap belt should be low
Extending the lap belt
Use the seat belt for all types of
driving
Even hard braking can have dangerous conse-
quences if you are not wearing a seat belt!
Therefore, always ask your passengers to use
seat belts! Otherwise rear seat passengers may be
thrown into the front seat backrests in a collision.
Everyone in the car may then be hurt.
Use the seat belt as follows: pull the belt out
slowly and secure it by inserting the locking tab
into the lock. A laud click indicates that the
belt is locked.
The belt is not normally restricted and you can
move freely.
The belt is restricted and cannot be pulled out
further:
· if it is pulled out too fast
· during braking and acceleration
· if the car leans excessively
· when cornering
It is important that the belt lies against the body
so it can provide maximum protection. Do not
lean the backrest too far back. The seat belt is
designed to protect in a normal seating position.

SRS (airbag) and SIPS bag (side airbag)
The side impact airbags are installed in the
front seat backrest frames
SRS (airbag) and SIPS bag (side impact airbag)
To further increase interior safety, your car is equipped with airbags
(SRS) to complement the standard three point seat belt The car is marked
SRS on the steering wheel and on the dashboard in front of the passenger,
if the car has a passenger side airbag. The inflatable airbag is installed
folded up in the centre of the steering wheel. On the passenger side it is
folded up in a compartment above the glovebox.
SIPS (side impact airbags) further increase the interior safety of the car.
The side impact airbags are installed in both front seat backrest frames.

for - the standard seat belts.
The side impact airbags are supplied as an addition to the existing
SIPS* system. For maximum protection: Always wear a seat belt.
The side airbag is above the glovebox,
marked SRS

SRS system
(airbags in the steering wheel and the dashboard)
The system consists of a gas generator (1) surrounded by the inflatable
airbag (2). Upon a sufficiently violent collision, a sensor (3) reacts,
activating the gas generator igniter, and the airbag inflates as it heats up.
To cushion the impact, the airbag deflates when compressed. When this
occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is completely normal. The entire
process, including inflation and deflation of the airbag, occurs in tenths
of a second.
NOTE! The sensor (3) reacts differently depending on whether the
drivers seat belt or front passenger seat belt is used or not. Crash
situations can occur where only one airbag is deployed.
Volvo Dual-Stage Airbag
In the event of lesser collisions, substantial enough to cause injury, the
airbags inflate to slightly more than half their full capacity. In the event of
collisions of greater force, the airbags inflate to their full capacity.
Seat belts and seat belt tensioners
All seat belts are equipped with a pyrotechnic seat belt tensioner (4).
A small charge, integrated into the seat belt reel, ignites at the moment of
impact and tensions the belt over the body so that any slack, caused by
clothing etc., is minimized. The belt restrains the occupant more rapidly.
The front seat seat belt tensioners are only triggered if the seat belt is
connected.

SIPS bag system (side impact airbag)
This system consists of a gas generator (3), electric sensors, cables (2)
and side impact airbags (1). In the event of a sufficiently violent collision
the sensors react, activating the gas generator which inflates the side
airbag. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the door panel,
cushioning the impact at the moment of collision and then deflates.
The side impact airbag only inflates on the side of the collision.

WARNING!
Never try to repair any part of the SRS or SIPS bag systems
yourself. Any interference can cause malfunction and serious
injury and any work should be carried out by an authorised
Volvo workshop.
The year and the month given on the decal on the door pillar/s is the
date when you should contact your Volvo workshop to inspect and if
necessary replace the airbags and seat belt tensioners. If you have any
question concerning either system, contact an authorised Volvo work-
shop.
This decal is located in the rear left door opening
Marking on seat belts with seat belt tensioners
WARNING!
If the warning symbol SRS remains lit while driving it means that
the SRS system is not functioning fully. Contact an authorised
Volvo workshop.
The SRS system is continuously monitored by the sensor/control module
and there is a warning lamp in the combined instrument panel. This lamp
lights when the ignition key is turned to positions I, II or III. The lamp
goes out when the sensor/control module has checked that the SRS
system is fault-free. This normally takes approximately 7 seconds.

SRS (airbag) and SIPS bag (side airbag)
WARNING!
SIPS airbag
· Extra seat covers must not be used on
the front seats if they are not Volvo
Genuine covers or Volvo approved seat
covers for SIPS airbags.
· No objects or accessories may be placed
between the outer side of the seat and
the door panel because this area may be
affected by the SIPS airbag.
· Never interfere with the SIPS airbag
system.
Airbag - passenger side (option)
When the airbag is inflated the volume is
approximately 150 litres on the passenger side,
while the driver's side airbag, because of the
location of the steering wheel, is approximately
65 litres. The crash protection is the same in
both locations.
WARNING!
Airbag - passenger side
· The passenger in the front seat should
never sit bent over the dashboard, at the
front of the seat, or in another abnormal
seating position. The passenger should
sit as upright as is possible and
comfortable, back against the backrest.
The seat belt should be under some
tension.
· Ensure that the passengers keep their
feet on the floor (not on the dashboard,
on the seat, in the map and newspaper
compartment, or on the side window).
· Never allow children to sit or stand in
front of the passenger seat.
· Never put a child seat or booster
cushion on the front passenger seat if
the car is equipped with SRS (Airbag)
on the passenger side.
· No one shorter than 140 cm should sit
in the front seat.
· No objects or accessories may be
positioned or stuck on or near the SRS
panel (above the glovebox) or in the
area affected by the airbag.
· Do not place loose objects on the floor,
seat, or on the dashboard.
· Never interfere with the SRS compo-
nents in the steering wheel hub or in the
panel above the glovebox.

SIPS airbag
The SIPS system is an electrical system,
consisting of two main components: the side
impact airbags and sensors. The side impact
airbags are installed in the front seat backrest
frames and the sensors are in the insides of the
centre and rear pillars. The volume of the
inflated side impact airbags is approximately
12 litres.
The side impact airbag normally inflates only
on the side of the collision.
Inflated SIPS airbag
Airbags and child seats are not compatible!

SRS (airbag) and SIPS bag (side airbag)
Child seat and airbag
A child can be seriously injured if a child seat or
booster cushion is used in the front seat of a car
equipped with a passenger side airbag.
The safest place for a child and child seat/
booster cushion is the rear seat, if the car is
equipped with passenger side airbag.
If the car is only equipped with SIPS airbags
child seats/booster cushions can be placed in the
front seat.
Never allow a child to sit in the front passenger
seat if your car is equipped with an SRS
(Airbag) on the passenger side (child refers to
any person whose height is 140 cm or less).
Place the child instead in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the backseat.
WARNING!
Never put a child seat or booster cushion
on the front passenger seat if the car is
equipped with SRS (Airbag) on the
passenger side.

IC system (Inflatable Curtain)
Always use the safety belts!
If you have passengers in the rear seat, ensure that the rear seat head
restraints are folded up and that the centre head restraint is correctly
adjusted for a passenger.
8802260n
8802259m
IC system (Inflatable Curtains)
The IC system protects the head from blows against the car interior. The
curtain also protects against objects that the car is in collision with. The IC
system protects both those travelling in the front and outer rear seats. The
curtain is hidden inside the headlining. The IC system - inflatable curtains
- covers the upper part of the car interior next to the front and rear seats.
The IC system is activated by the SIPS system collision sensors, when the
car is hit from the side. When the IC system is activated the curtain is
filled with gas from the gas generator, which is located in the rear end of
the curtain.
WARNING!
·
Do not screw or mount anything to the headlining, door pillars or
side panels. The intended protection may be compromised.
· When the rear seat backrest is folded down, do not load objects
higher than 50 mm from the top edge of the rear passenger door
window. Otherwise, the protection offered by the inflatable curtain
hidden inside the headlining will be compromised.

WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System)
8502213e
WHIPS
This system consists of energy absorbing backrests and specially
developed head restraints in both front seats.
WHIPS seat
WHIPS is activated in event of a collision from behind, based on the
collision angle, speed and nature of the colliding vehicle. Upon activation
the backrests of the front seats, if occupied, move backwards and the
seating position of the occupants in the front seats is altered. This
diminishes the risk of whiplash injury.
Correct seating position
For the best possible protection, you and your front seat passenger
should sit in the centre of your seats with as little distance as possible
between the head restraints and your heads.
WARNING!
If the seat has been exposed to a heavy load strain, for example a
collision, the WHIPS system should be inspected at an authorised
workshop. Even if the seat does not appear damaged the WHIPS
system may have deployed without causing visible damage to the seat.
Parts of the WHIPS protective capacity may have been lost. Allow an
authorised Volvo workshop to check the system even after minor
collision from behind. Never modify or repair the seat or the WHIPS
system yourself!
8502379e
WHIPS and child seat
The WHIPS system does not negatively affect the protective properties of
the car with regard to child seats. As long as there is no passenger side
airbag (SRS) a child seat may be placed on the front passenger seat. The
WHIPS system stills functions if a rear-facing child seat is placed on the
rear seat, supported against the front seat backrest.
WARNING!
Never obstruct WHIPS system
functions!
If a rear backrest has been
lowered, adjust the correspon-
ding front seat in order to avoid
contact with the lowered back-
rest.
Avoid placing boxes or similar
cargo so that they are clamped
between the rear seat cushion
and the front seat backrest.
17
SRS (airbag), SIPS bag (side airbag) and Inflatable Curtain (IC)
WARNING!
Never drive with deployed airbags! They can hinder the steering of
your car. Other safety systems may also be damaged. Intensive
exposure to the smoke and dust released when the airbags are deployed
can cause eye and skin irritation. If irritated, wash with cold water and/
or contact a doctor. The speed of deployment can, in conjunction with
the airbag fabric, cause friction burns to the skin.
WARNING!
The SRS sensors are located in the centre console. If the passenger
compartment floor has been drenched with water, remove the battery
leads in the cargo compartment. Do not try to start the car; the airbags
may deploy. Tow the car to an authorised Volvo workshop.
When do the airbags and curtain inflate?
The SRS system senses the collision in the level of braking and the speed
reduction caused by the collision. The sensor determines whether the
collision is of the character and nature requiring airbag deployment.
Note that it is not only the deformation of the bodywork which affects
the cars sensors but also the speed reduction at the moment of impact.
This means that SRS sensor senses those occasions when there is a risk
that occupants in the front seats may be injured by blows against the
dashboard or steering wheel.
The above applies to the SIPS system (side airbags), and inflatable
curtains except that side impact airbags and inflatable curtains are only
deployed in side-on collisions, when the car is hit by an object with
sufficient force.
NOTE! Deployment of the SRS, SIPS and IC systems occurs only once
in a collision in the relevant direction.
If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following:
· Tow the car to a Volvo workshop. Do not drive the car with the
airbags deployed even if the car can be driven after an accident.
· Let an authorised Volvo workshop replace components to the SRS,
SIPS, and IC systems.
18
If a brake circuit fails
If a fault should occur in one of the
circuits it is still possible to stop the car. Press
the pedal hard once - not repeatedly. The brake
pedal can be depressed further and feels a little
softer than usual. If also requires more pressure
on the pedal to achieve a normal braking effect.
The brake servo only works when the
engine is running
If the car is rolling or being towed with the
engine switched off you must apply approxima-
tely five times more pressure on the brake pedal
than when the engine is running.
The brake pedal feels rigid and hard.
Moisture on the brake discs and brake
lining alter braking characteristics!
The brake components become wet when the
car is driven in heavy rain, through pools of
water, or when the car is washed. This alters
brake pad friction characteristics so that there is
a delay before braking effect is noticed. Depress
the brake pedal lightly from time to time when
driving long distances in rain or slush or before
parking the car in such conditions. The brake
pads are thus able to warm up and dry out. You
should also do this when driving after washing
the car or when starting in very damp or cold
weather conditions.
If the brakes are heavily loaded
When driving in the Alps or other roads with
similar characteristics, the brakes are heavily
loaded even if you are not pressing the pedal
particularly hard. Because the speed is often low
the brakes are not cooled as effectively as when
driving on flat roads.
So as not to overload the brakes shift down
and use the same gear both uphill and downhill
instead of using the brake (manual transmis-
sion). In this way engine braking is used more
effectively and the brake is only required for
short periods.
Keep in mind that the brakes are even more
heavily loaded when driving with a trailer.
ABS - Anti-lock brakes
The ABS system (Anti-lock Braking
System) is designed so that the wheels do not
lock when braking. This retains the best
possible steering response when braking. This
improves your ability to swerve to avoid
obstacles. The ABS system does not increase
your total braking capacity. However, as the
driver you have increased ability to steer and
thus better control over the car, which in turn
increases safety.
After the engine has started and reached a speed
of about 20 km/h (12 mph), a short self-test can
be both heard and felt. When the ABS system
functions, you can hear and feel pulses in the
brake pedal. This is completely normal.
NOTE! You must depress the brake pedal fully
to take maximum advantage of the ABS system.
Do not release the pedal when the ABS pulses
are felt and heard. Practice braking with the
ABS system in a suitable place.
The ABS symbol shines with a steady light:
· For approximately two seconds when you
start the car to test the system.
· If the ABS system has shut down due to a
fault.
Electronic Brakeforce
Distribution (EBD)
The EBD system (Electronic Brakeforce
Distribution) is an integrated part of the ABS
system. The EBD system controls the brake
force to the rear wheels so that the best possible
braking force is always available. Pulses in the
brake pedal can be felt and heard as the system
controls the brake force.
WARNING!
If both the BRAKE and ABS
warning symbols are lit up there is a risk
that the rear end will have a tendency to
slide during heavy braking. If the brake
fluid reservoir level is normal in these
circumstances, you may, very carefully,
drive the car to the nearest authorised
Volvo workshop to have the brake system
checked.
Brake system/ABS/EBD
19
Stability system
Active Yaw Control - AYC
(Active Yaw Control, AYC)
The anti-skid function performs automatic
braking on one or more of the car's wheels.
This stabilises the car if it starts to skid. If in
this situation you attempt to apply the brakes
yourself, the brake pedal will feel harder than
normal and a pulsing sound will be heard. The
AYC function is active the whole time and, for
reasons of safety, it cannot be deactivated.
AYC in the V70 R
In the V70 R, this function can be switched off
with the DSTC button. However, the procedure
requires that function deactivation/reactivation
is repeated three times (push the button five
times in succession) in order to completely
deactivate the AYC function. "DSTC ANTI-
SKID OFF" will be shown on the display.
Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA)
(Emergency Brake Assistance)
The EBA function is an integrated part of the
DSTC system. The system is designed to
provide full braking force immediately when
rapid braking is necessary. The system senses
when you need to brake heavily by registering
how quickly you press down the brake pedal.
The EBA function is active at all speeds and,
for reasons of safety, cannot be deactivated.
NOTE! When the EBA function is active the
brake pedal sinks at the same time as the car has
maximum brake force available. Continue
applying the brakes without releasing the
pressure on the brake pedal. The EBA function
disengages when the pressure on the brake
pedal is eased.
STC/DSTC button
The STC/DSTC button in the centre console is
used to reduce or reactivate the STC/DSTC
system.
When the LED in the button comes on the
STC/DSTC system is activated (if no fault
arises).
When reduced the stability control (SC) is
deactivated and the active yaw control (AYC) is
reduced. Other functions are not affected.
NOTE! In order to reduce the effect of the
STC/DSTC system for reasons of safety the
button must be held in for at least a half second.
The LED in the button goes out and the
display shows: ”STC SPIN CONTROL
OFF”/DSTC SPIN CONTROL OFF".
R version: "DSTC REDUCED FUNC-
TION" will be displayed.
The STC/DSTC system is automatically
activated each time the engine is started.
* The STC and DSTC system is an option on
some markets. The system is standard in the R
version.
Stability and Traction
Control STC/DSTC*
The STC system (Stability and Traction
Control) contains the functions TC and SC.
The DSTC system (Dynamic Stability and
Traction Control) contains the functions TC,
SC, AYC and EBA
Traction Control - TC
(Traction Control, TC)
The traction control transfers the motive power
from a drive wheel that spins on the road
surface to the drive wheel that does not spin by
braking the wheel that starts to spin. In order to
increase accessibility in this situation you may
need to press the accelerator harder than usual.
A pulsing sound can be heard when traction
control is working. This is completely normal
for the system. The TC function is mostly
active at low speeds. It cannot be deactivated.
Stability Control - SC
(Stability Control, SC).
Stability Control is designed to prevent the
drive wheels spinning on the road surface
during acceleration, by lowering the engine
torque on the drive wheels. This improves
accessibility and road safety in slippery road
conditions. In specific conditions, for example,
driving with snow chains, in deep snow or
sand, it can be beneficial to deactivate the SC
function to increase traction. This is then done
using the DSTC button.
20
Stability system
WARNING!
Under normal driving conditions, the STC/
DSTC system improves the cars road
safety, but this should not be taken as a
reason to increase speed. Always follow
the usual precautions for safe cornering and
driving on slippery surfaces.
Keep in mind that the driving characteris-
tics of the car change if you deactivate the
STC/DSTC system.

which discerns the amount of friction between
the tyres and the road.
The system is designed as an early warning
system which alerts the driver when road
conditions are slippery.
The RFD system is active at low speed and
upwards and cannot be switched off for
reasons of safety.
The warning symbol

Children in the car
Important tips!
When using other child safety products
available on the market it is important that the
installation instructions are carefully read and
closely followed. These are some points that
you should consider:
· Child cushions and/or child seats with steel
frames or other parts which could press
against the seat belt release button must not
be used as they could accidentally cause the
belt buckle to open.
· Volvo has child safety products, which are
designed and tested for use in Volvo cars.
· The child seat should always be located
according to the manufacturers description.
· Do not attach the child seat straps to the
seat springs, rails or any of the rails and
struts under the seat which may have sharp
edges.
· Arrange the child seat backrest so that it
rests against the dashboard.
· Do not allow the top portion of the child
seat to rest against the windscreen.
· Never install a child seat on the front seat if
the car is equipped with an airbag (SRS) on
the passenger side.
NOTE! If you have difficulties installing the
child safety product, contact the manufacturer
for clearer installation instructions.

The lap belt should be low
WARNING!
Never put a child seat/booster cushion in
the front seat if the car is equipped with
SRS (airbag) on the passenger side.
Children should sit comfortably
and safely
Remember that children, regardless of age or
size, should always be securely strapped into
the car. Never allow a child to sit on the knee of
a passenger!
Location and equipment must be selected with
regard to the weight of the child.
Volvos own child safety equipment is designed
for your car. If you select Volvo equipment,
you can be sure that the mounting points and
attachments are correctly positioned and
sufficiently strong.
The smallest children should sit in rear-facing
seats. These give children up to the age of
3 years maximum protection.
NOTE! Many countries have statutory
requirements covering where a child may be
located in the car. Find out which rules apply in
the countries you visit.
Pregnant women
Pregnant women should be extra careful when
using seat belts! Always remember to position
the seat belt so that there is no unnecessary
pressure on the womb. The lap belt on the three
point seat belt should be low.

WARNING!
If the integrated booster cushion has been
exposed to heavy load, in a collision for
example, the entire booster cushion,
including the seat belt and screws, must be
replaced. Even if the integrated booster
cushion appears undamaged some of the
protective properties may have been lost.
The booster cushion should also be replaced
if it is very worn or damaged. The booster
seat cushoin should also be replaced if it is
very worn or damaged. Note that cushion
replacement must be carried out professio-
nally, because it is important for passenger
saftey that the cushion is correctly installed.
Therefore the replacement and any repairs
should be referred to your Volvo work-
shop. If the cushion becomes dirty it should
initially be cleaned in situ. If the cushion is
so dirty that it requires separate cleaning, the
above instructions for replacing and
installing the cushion should be followed.
Do not alter or add anything to the child seat
cushions.

Your climate control system - useful hints
Misting on window interiors
A good way to reduce the problem of misting on
the insides of the windscreen and other windows
is to clean them. Use a normal window cleaner.
Bear in mind that you must clean them more often
if someone smokes in the car.
Ice and snow
Remove ice and snow from the climate control
air intake (the grille between the bonnet and the
windscreen).
Particle filter
Make sure the particle filter is replaced regular-
ly. Consult your Volvo workshop.
Actual temperature - ECC
The temperature you select corresponds to the
physical experience with reference to air speed,
humidity, exposure to sun, etc. which affect the
interior and exterior of the car.
Condensation / After Blow
In warm weather conditions condensation from
the air conditioning (A/C) system may drip
under the car. This is completely normal. If
necessary, the fan starts 50 minutes after the
ignition switch is returned to position 0 and
dries the climate control systems within
7 minutes. The fan will afterwards switch off
automatically.
Fault tracing
Your Volvo workshop has the instruments and
tools required for any fault tracing or repair of
your climate control system. Entrust checks and
repairs only to trained personnel.
Environmental care
Refrigerant R134a is in the air conditioning
system. This contains no chlorine, which means
it is harmless to the ozone layer.
Use only R134a when topping up/refilling
refrigerant. This work should be performed by
an accredited workshop.
Sensors - ECC
The sun sensor is on the upper portion of the
dashboard. Remember not to cover it. Do not
cover the passenger compartment temperature
sensor on the climate control panel.
When it is hot outside - sun
heated car
In order to cool the car more rapidly when it is
very hot outside you can air the car at the
beginning of your journey by opening the
windows and sunroof for a short time. This
assists the car to cool the interior.
Side windows and sunroof
For the air conditioning (A/C) system to
operate satisfactorily the side windows and sun
roof should be closed. Remember not to block
the evacuation channels on the parcel shelf.
Acceleration
The air conditioning system switches off
temporarily at full acceleration. You may feel a
temporary rise in temperature.

Points to remember:
·
Make it a rule to have the air quality sensor

· Recirculation is limited in cold climates to
avoid misting.
· In the event of misting, you should
disconnect the air quality sensor.
· In the event of the windows misting up
you can also use the windscreen and side
window defroster functions. See next page.
· The recommended interval for changing the
combination filter is at every other
scheduled service. The multifilter may need
to be changed more often if you drive in
heavily polluted environments.

gases and particles, reducing the volume of
odours and contaminants entering the car. The
air quality sensor detects increased levels of
contaminants in the outside air. When the air
quality sensor detects contaminated outside
air, the air intake is closed and the air inside the
compartment is recirculated. The multifilter
also cleans the air recirculating in the compart-
ment.

Loading in the cargo area
Seat belts and airbags afford the driver and
front seat passenger excellent protection,
especially in a frontal collision. You must also
think of protecting yourself from behind.
When loading cargo you should bear in mind
that objects in the cargo area, if they are not
properly anchored and correctly positioned,
can be thrown forward at great speed and
considerable force in a collision or during
heavy braking and cause serious injury.
Remember that in a frontal collision at
50 km/h (31 mph) an object weighing 20 kg
corresponds to a collision weight of 1 000 kg.
WARNING!
·
Do not position heavy items right up
against the front seats. The forward-folded
backrest will then be pressed down
unnecessarily hard. Never load above the
level of the backrests. If you do, the cargo
could be thrown forward during heavy
braking or in a collision and seriously injure
you or your passengers. Also remember to
secure the cargo properly to prevent it
moving about.
· When the rear seat backrest is folded down,
do not load objects higher than 50 mm from
the top edge of the rear passenger door
window. Otherwise, the protection offered
by the inflatable curtain hidden inside the
headlining will be compromised.
Bear the following in mind when
loading cargo:
· Place the load close up against the
backrest.
· Place heavy objects as low down as
possible.
· Place wide objects on either side of the
backrest split.
· Secure the load using suitable straps
attached to the cargo lashing eyes.
· Never load above the level of the backrest

Fuel filler flap, Starting the engine
2302129d
Fuel filling
The fuel cap is inside the fuel filler flap on the
right rear wing.
In high exterior temperatures there can be
overpressure in the fuel tank. Open the filler
cap slowly. Do not overfill the fuel tank. A
maximum of one automatic cut out by the
fuel pump nozzle is recommended! Too
much fuel at high outside temperatures can
cause the tank to overflow!
After refuelling, replace the fuel cap and turn
until one or more clicks is heard.
Opening fuel tank filler cover
The fuel filler flap is unlocked and can be
opened when the car is unlocked.
How to start the engine (Diesel)
1 Apply the parking brake (handbrake).
2 Automatic gearbox: Gear selector in P or
N position.
Manual gearbox: Gear lever in neutral
and the clutch pedal completely depressed.
This is especially important in severe cold.
3 Turn the ignition key to the driving
position. A control symbol in the combined
instrument panel shows that the engine is
pre-heating. Turn the key to the start
position when the indicator symbol has
gone out.
Refuelling with diesel oil
At low temperatures (–5°C to –40°C) the
diesel oil can precipitate paraffin, which makes
the engine difficult to start. Make sure that
special winter fuel is used during the cold
period of the year.
NOTE! Depending on the engine temperature
when starting, the idling speed with a cold start
is - for a short period - higher than normal for
some engine types.
The reason for this is Volvo's ambition to
minimise exhaust emissions by bringing up the
engine's exhaust purification system to its correct
working temperature as quickly as possible.
WARNING!
Always switch off your mobile telephone
during refuelling - the ring signal can cause
sparks which may ignite petrol fumes and
lead to fires or personal injury.
NOTE! When the car is locked from outside,
the fuel filler flap remains unlocked for a
further 10 minutes.
Start the engine as follows
(Petrol)
1 Apply the parking brake (handbrake).
2 Automatic gearbox: Gear selector in P or
N position.
Manual gearbox: Gear lever in neutral
and the clutch pedal completely depressed.
This is especially important in severe cold.
3 Turn the ignition key to the start position. If
the engine does not start within
5-10 seconds, release the key and try again.
Refuelling
NOTE! Never add cleaning additives yourself
unless specifically recommended to do so by a
Volvo workshop.
Important!
Petrol-powered cars must always be
refuelled with unleaded petrol so as not to
damage the catalytic converter.
89
Starting the engine
Automatic gearbox adaptive system
The gearbox is controlled by an adaptive system. The control module
continually “learns” how the gearbox behaves. It senses how the
gearbox shifts gear and achieves optimal gear shifts each time. The
control module also senses your driving style, such as how hard you
depress the accelerator pedal, and adjusts the shift schedule to your
specific driving style.
Automatic transmission - Cold starter
When starting in low temperatures, gear shifts may feel harder. This is
due to viscosity of the gearbox oil at low temperatures.
To minimise engine emissions, the gearbox shifts up later than normal if
the engine has been started at low temperatures.
When driving with a cold engine the gearbox will shift at a higher engine
speed. This is done to faster attain the correct temperature for the
catalytic converter.
Do not allow the engine and cooling system to
overheat
Under certain conditions, e.g. when driving in hilly terrain and with a
heavy load, especially in warm weather, there is a risk of the engine and
cooling system overheating.
To avoid the cooling system overheating:
· Drive at low speeds if driving with a trailer up a long incline.
· Switch off the air conditioning temporarily.
· Avoid letting the engine idle.
· Do not turn the engine off immediately when you stop, if the car has
been driven hard.
· Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front of the grille if driving in
extremely high temperatures.
To avoid the engine overheating:
Do not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm if driving with a trailer or
caravan in hilly terrain. The oil temperature can become too high.
Immobilizer
Use the car key. Do not let several ignition key head dangle next to each
other from the same key ring when starting.
The new car - slippery road surface
Driving on a slippery road may feel different depending on whether you
choose a car with a manual or an automatic gearbox. Practice handling
skids under controlled conditions so that you know how your new car
reacts.
Never rev the engine hard after a cold start!
If the engine fails to start or misfires, contact the nearest Volvo
workshop.
Automatic gearbox safety systems
Cars with automatic gearbox have special safety systems:
Keylock - Ignition switch interlock
In order to move the gear selector from P position to other gear posi-
tions the ignition key must be in position I. In order to remove the
ignition key after driving, the gear selector must be in the P position.
Shift lock
In order to move the gear selector from P position to the other gear
positions when the key is in position I or II, the brake pedal must be
depressed.
If you have started the engine and the car remains stationary: hold
your foot on the brake pedal when you move the gear selector to
another position!
90
Economical driving, Some important tips!
Driving characteristics and tyres
The tyres have great influence on the handling
of the car. Both tyre type, dimension and tyre
pressure are all important to how the car
behaves. When you change tyres, ensure that
you have the same type, size and brand of tyre
on all four wheels. Also follow the recommen-
dations as regards air pressure.
Do not drive with tailgate open!
If you drive with the tailgate open, some of the
exhaust gases and therefore poisonous carbon
monoxide could be sucked into the car through
the cargo compartment. If you are forced to
drive with the tailgate open over a shorter
distance carry out the following:
· Close all windows.
· Distribute the air between the windscreen and
floor while running the fan at high speed.
Those of you who drive with
trailers - here are some
special tips
·
When parking on hills, you should apply
the parking brake before moving the gear
selector to P. When you start on a hill, you
should first put the gear selector in drive
and then release the parking brake.
· Select a low gear in the gearbox when
driving on steep inclines or when driving
slowly. This prevents the gearbox from
upshifting if you have an automatic
gearbox. The gearbox oil will be cooler.
· If you have a Geartronic gearbox, do not
use a higher manual gear than the engine
can handle. It is not always economical to
drive in high gears.
Drive with anticipation
Economical driving results from driving gently
with anticipation and adapting your driving
style and speed to the situation.
Keep in mind the following:
· Drive the engine to operating temperature as
soon as possible! That is to say: do not let
the engine idle, but drive with a light load as
soon as you can.
· A cold engine consumes more fuel than a
warm one.
· Avoid driving short distances where the
engine never has time to reach operating
temperature.
· Drive gently! Avoid unnecessary quick
accelerations and heavy braking.
· Do not drive with unnecessary, heavy loads
in the car.
· Do not drive with winter tyres when the
roads are clear and dry.
· Remove the load carrier when it is not in use.
· Do not open side windows unnecessarily.
Speed-dependent power steering
Your car can be equipped with speed-dependent
power steering as an option. This means that the
car can be steered more easily at low speeds,
which in turn facilitates parking, etc.
When speed is increased, the steering force will
be adjusted in order to provide the driver with
an improved feeling for the road.

To put the car into reverse, the lever must first
be moved to neutral position (between 3rd and
4th gear). Reverse gear cannot be selected
directly from 5th gear because of the reverse
gear inhibitor.
Gear positions, 5-speed
Depress the clutch pedal fully with every gear
change. Remove your foot from the clutch
pedal between changes! Be sure to follow this
shifting pattern.
Use the 5th gear as often as possible for

All-Wheel Drive (four-wheel drive), Active chassis, FOUR-C
AWD - All Wheel Drive (option)
The all wheel drive on your Volvo is always
engaged and corresponds to the very high
demands made on technical solutions. Used
correctly all wheel drive gives the driver greater
possibilities to solve situations in different road
conditions compared to conventional front or
rear wheel drive.
All wheel drive means that the vehicle drives
simultaneously on all four wheels. Power is
distributed automatically between the front and
rear wheels. An electronically controlled clutch
system distributes the power to the wheel pair
that has the best grip in the prevailing road
conditions. This is to give the best possible grip
and prevent wheel spin.
In normal driving condition the majority of the
power is distributed to the front wheels.
The improved front wheel drive increases road
safety in rain, snow and icy conditions.
Tyre dimensions and air pressure
Volvo recommends that you only drive with tyres
of the same brand, dimensions, specifications
and with the same load and speed designation.
Air pressure can be read from the table on the
inside of the fuel filler flap. See page 109.
Snow chains
Snow chains may only be fitted to the front
wheels on cars equipped with all wheel drive.
Only chains adapted for AWD models may be
used.
Active chassis FOUR-C*
The R version is equipped with the advanced,
electronically-controlled active chassis system
FOUR-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis
Concept). System functions are based on a
number of sensors which continuously adjust
vehicle movements and reactions, for example
vertical and lateral acceleration, vehicle speed
and wheel movement.
The FOUR-C control unit analyses data from
the sensors and performs the necessary shock
absorber setting adjustments up to 500 times per
second. This results in extremely fast and accurate
individual shock absorber control, which explains
how chassis characteristics can be varied.
The buttons on the dashboard (see the illustration
on page 32) can be used at random in order to
select from the three different settings: Comfort,
Sport and Advanced.
The driver can adjust the chassis characteristics
while driving - when switching driving style or
when the character of the road surface changes.
Adjustments occur within a few milliseconds.
The effect which occurs when depressing the
*R version only.
Important!
Only Volvo-approved snow chains are
permitted. Use of other snow chains could
damage your car.
Never drive faster than 50 km/h when
snow chains are fitted!
Never use quick links because the space
between the disc brakes and the wheels is
too small.
accelerator pedal is related to the chassis setting
selection: the Advanced setting provides a
quicker acceleration response.
Comfort
Comfort adjusts the chassis setting so that the
body is insulated from uneven sections of the
road surface, which allows for better glide.
Shock absorption is softer and body move-
ments are minimal. This setting is recommen-
ded for long-distance driving or driving on
slippery road surfaces.
When the ignition is switched off in Comfort
setting, the chassis will resume the same mode
when the car is re-started.
Sport
The Sport setting provides quicker steering
response than the Comfort setting. The
suspension is harder and the body follows the
road in order to reduce roll during rapid cornering.
When the ignition is switched off in Sport
setting, the chassis will resume the same mode
when the car is re-started.
Advanced
With the Advanced setting, shock absorber
movements are minimal and optimised for
maximum traction and minimal roll when
cornering. This setting is recommended for flat,
even road surfaces only. Response to accelera-
tion is more direct and the automatic gearbox
shift schedule is sportier.
When the ignition is switched off in Advanced
setting, the chassis will resume the same mode
when the car is re-started.

Towing - General information
8600422M
* (certain models) To be able to screw the
towing eye into place, you must first loosen a
plastic screw in the console for the rear towing
eye. Use the flange of the tool bag to loosen
the plastic screw. Rescrew the plastic screw
after use.
If you need to be towed
· Unlock the steering wheel lock so that the
car can be steered.
· Keep in mind the highest legally
permissible speed.
· Remember that the brake and power
steering servos do not function with the
engine is switched off! You must exert
approximately five times more pressure on
the brake pedal and steering is considerably
harder than usual.
· Drive gently. Keep the towline taut to
avoid unnecessary jerking.
For automatic gearboxes
· The gear selector should be in position N.
Towing eye, rearTowing eye, front
· Maximum permitted speed for automatic
gearbox: 80 km/h.
Maximum permitted distance: 80 km
(50 miles).
· Cars equipped with automatic gearboxmust
only be towed facing forward.
· The engine cannot be towed to start (bump
started). See Jump starting on the next
page.
To tow start (bump start)
the engine
If you tow start a car with a manual gearbox,
the three-way catalytic converter (TWC) can
be damaged. Cars with automatic gearboxes
cannot be tow started. Use a booster battery if
the battery is discharged.
Towing eye*
The towing eye is located in the tool kit in the
cargo compartment. You must screw the towing
eye into place before towing. The sockets and
covers for the towing eye are located on the
right-hand side of each bumper.
Remove the cover as follows:
A. Loosen the bottom edge of the cover with a
coin.
B. Screw the towing eye securely into place up
to the flange (C). You can use a wheelbrace.
After use, unscrew the towing eye and refit the
cover.
Towing
NOTE! The towing eye may only be used for
towing on the road, not for salvage after
driving into a ditch or similar. Professional help
should be called for salvage towing.
98
Jumpstarting
Jumpstarting with a booster battery is as follows:
If for some reason the battery in your car is discharged, you can borrow
current from a spare battery or another cars battery to start the engine.
Always check that the clamps are secure so that there are no sparks during
the start attempt.
To avoid the risk of explosion, we recommend you do exactly as follows.
· Turn the ignition key to position 0.
· Ensure that the booster battery has 12 volt current.
· If the booster battery is in another car, stop the engine of that car and
make sure the cars are not touching.
· Connect the red cable to the booster batterys positive terminal (1+)
and the red connection in your cars engine by (2+).
The clamp should be attached to the contact point located under a little
black cover with a plus sign on it. The cover is connected to the cover
of the fuse box.
Lifting eye - diesel
engine (under bonnet on
right in engine bay)
· Connect one end of the black cable to the booster batterys negative
terminal (3).
· Connect the other end of the black cable to the lifting eyes on you car.
No. 4 in the illustration.
· Start the engine of the booster car. Let the engine run a few minutes
at a speed slightly higher than idle, 1500 rpm.
· Start the engine of the car with the discharged battery.
· NOTE! Do not move the clamps during the start attempt (risk
of spark buildup).
· Remove the clamps in reverse order.
3100088m
WARNING!
Remember that batteries, especially the
booster battery, contain oxyhydrogen
which is highly explosive. A spark, which
can be caused if you incorrectly install the
jump leads, is enough to cause the battery
to explode and both damage the car and
injure you. The battery also contains
sulphuric acid, which can cause serious
corrosive damage. If the acid comes into
contact with your eyes, skin or clothes,
flush with large quantities of water. If acid
splashes into your eyes contact a doctor
immediately.

Driving with trailer
·
The towing bracket on the car must be of an approved type. Your
Volvo dealer can advise you as to which towing bracket to use.
· Distribute the load in the trailer so that the weight on the towing
bracket is approximately 50 kg for trailer weights under 1200 kg and
approximately 75 kg for trailer weights over 1200 kg.
· Increase tyre pressure to correspond to the pressure for full load. See
the tyre pressure table!
· Clean the towing bracket regularly and grease the towball* and all
moving parts to prevent unnecessary wear.
· Do not drive with a heavy trailer when your car is brand new! Wait
until it has gone at least 1000 km (620 miles).
· The brakes are loaded much more than usual on long and steep
downhill slopes. Downshift to a lower gear and adjust your speed.
· If the car is driven with a heavy load in a hot climate, the engine and
gearbox may overheat. The temperature gauge in the combined
instrument panel goes into the red zone when the car overheats. Stop
and let the engine idle a few minutes.
.
· If the car overheats, the air conditioning system can be temporarily
switched off.
· The gearbox reacts with a built-in protection function if the car
overheats. See the message in the display!
· The engine is loaded more heavily than usual when driving with a
trailer.
· For reasons of safety, you should not drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph), even if the laws of certain countries permit higher speeds.
· The highest permissible weight for a trailer without brakes is 750 kg.
· If you park with a trailer, always move the gear selector to the P
position (automatic transmission), or engage a gear (manual gearbox).
If you park on steep hills always put chocks under the wheels.
· Avoid driving with trailer weights above 1200 kg on inclines great
than 12%. You should not drive with a trailer on inclines above 15%.
Driving with braked trailer
* Does not apply to ball hitch with vibration damper.
Driving with trailer - automatic transmission
·
When parking on a slope you should apply the parking brake before
moving the gear selector to the P position. When starting on a slope
you should first move the gear selector to the driving position and then
release the parking brake.
· Select an appropriate low gear position on the gearbox when driving
on steep slopes or if driving slowly. In doing so, you prevent the
gearbox from changing up if you have an automatic transmission. The
gearbox oil will be cooler.
· If you have a Geartronic transmission, do not use a higher manual gear
than what the engine can handle. It is not always economical to drive
in high gears.
NOTE! Some models must be fitted with an oil cooler for the automatic
transmission when driving with a trailer. You should therefore check with
your closest Volvo dealer about just your car if a towbar has been fitted at
a later date.

If you use load carriers
·
To avoid damaging your car and to achieve
the best level of safety when driving, we
recommend that you only use load carriers
that Volvo has specially designed for your
car.
· Check periodically that the load carriers
and load are properly secured. Lash the
load securely with suitable straps.
· You can carry a maximum of 100 kg on
the roof (including load carriers).
· Distribute the load evenly over the load
carriers. Do not load lopsidedly. Place the
heaviest items at the bottom.
· Remember that the cars centre of gravity
and driving characteristics change if you
have a load on the roof.
· Keep in mind that the cars wind resistance
and fuel consumption increase in proportion
to the size of the load.
· Drive gently. Avoid quick accelerations,
heavy braking and taking curves hard.

General
General about wheels and tyres
All tyres have a dimension designation, such as 215/55R16 93W.
These tyre size designations, which are used by all tyre manufacturers, can
be interpreted as follows:
215 section width (mm)
55 relationship between the section height and width (%)
R means radial tyre
16 wheel rim diameter in inches (")
93 code digits for maximum permissible tyre load, in this case 650 kg
W specifies that the tyre is manufactured for speeds up to
270 km/h (168 mph).
Your car is fully approved, which means that you may not deviate from
those dimensions and performance ratings indicated in the vehicle registra-
tion. The only exception from these regulations concerns winter tyres and
studded tyres, which may have different dimensions and a different speed
rating than indicated in the registration. If you select tyres with different
dimensions, do not drive at speeds faster than those permitted. The most
common speed ratings are indicated in the following table:
Q 160 km/h, used most often with studded tyres
T 190 km/h
H 210 km/h
V 240 km/h
W 270 km/h
Note: maximum permissible speeds indicated.
When you change tyres: be sure to use the same type (radial), dimension,
designation, and brand on all four wheels. Otherwise, there is a risk that
the handling characteristics of the car could change Check with your dealer
regarding dimensions which are available for your car. Keep in mind that
the road surface can determine how fast you may drive, not the tyre speed
rating.
Winter tyres
We recommend winter tyres of dimension 195/65 R15 except for cars
with turbo engines. 205/55 R16, 215/65 R16 (for XC70) and 225/45
R17 (for V70R) are recommended for these vehicles.
Always use winter tyres on all four wheels!
NOTE: Always consult your Volvo dealer as to which wheel and tyre type
is appropriate for your car.
Studded winter tyres
Studded winter tyres should be run in for 500-1000 kilometres
(300-600 miles), softly and gently so that the studs sit in the tyre correctly.
This extends the service life of both the tyres and the studs while making
the drive a bit quieter. Ensure that the studded tyres have the same direction
of rotation throughout their lifetime. If you wish to shift wheels, see to it
that they remain on the same side as previously.
Please remember: The regulations for using studded tyres vary from
country to country.
Snow chains
Snow chains may only be used on the front wheels.
Because of the limited space in the wheel arch we recommend that you do
not use conventional snowchains. (Conventional snow chains can be
used with 195/65R15 dimension tyres).Volvo has approved snowchains
for recommended standard tyre/wheel rim combinations. Seek advice
from your Volvo dealer.
New tyres
Bear in mind that tyres are perishable goods - after a
few years they begin to harden while their friction
properties deteriorate little by little. Try to use fresh
tyres when changing.
This is especially important for winter tyres.
The week and year of manufacture is indicated with
4 digits (e.g. 1502 indicates tyres manufactured

Snow chains and All Wheel Drive (AWD)
On vehicles equipped with All Wheel Drive (AWD), snow chains may
only be fitted to the front wheels. Only use chains adapted for AWD
models.
NOTE! You should never drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph) with snow
chains! Do not drive on bare roads unnecessarily because it wears away
both your snow chains and tyres.
Driving characteristics and tyres
Tyres affect driving characteristics greatly. Tyre type, size and pressure are
important to how the car performs. When you change tyres, be sure to use
the same type, size and brand on all four wheels. Follow the recommenda-
tions regarding tyre pressure.
Tyre pressure is important!
Check the tyre pressure regularly. The correct pressure is listed in the
adjacent table and on the decal on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
If you drive with incorrect pressure the cars handling is markedly
impaired and the tyre wear is also increased.
Note that the values in the table refer to cold tyres (outside temperature).
Tyres get warm and pressure increases after just a few kilometres
driving. This is normal, so do not let out air if you check the pressure
when the tyres are warm. However, you should increase pressure if it is
too low.
Remember that tyre pressure can vary depending on outside temperature.
Therefore, check the tyres outdoors when the tyres are cold.
Tyre pressure table
The tyre pressure decal on the inside of the fuel filler flap indicates what
tyre pressure your car should have.
WARNING!
The only Volvo approved special wheel rims are those rims that
have been checked by Volvo and are Volvo Genuine accessories.

Wheels and tyres
“Temporary Spare”
The “Temporary Spare” should only be used for the short time it takes to
repair or replace the normal tyre.
By law it is only legal to use the spare wheel/tyre temporarily in
connection with damage to a tyre. A wheel/tyre of this type should
therefore be replaced by a normal wheel/tyre as soon as possible.
Remember also that the “temporary spare” in combination with normal
wheels/tyres can have different driving characteristics.
The maximum speed with a “Temporary Spare” is therefore 80 km/h
(50 mph).
NOTE! Only use the cars own genuine spare wheel! Tyres with other
dimensions may cause damage to your car. Only one tyre may be used at a
time.
Changing the tyres - summer/winter
When you change between summer and winter tyres; mark on the tyre
which side they were fitted: For example, L = left, R = right.
NOTE! Tyres should have the same direction of rotation throughout their life.
Tyres with tread designs that are made to roll only in one direction, have
the direction of rotation marked with an arrow on the tyre.
If the tyres are fitted incorrectly this will impair the car's braking characte-
ristics and the ability to disperse rain, snow and slush.
Tyres with tread wear indicators
Tread wear indicators are narrow, raised areas
across the tread that have approximately
1.6 mm less tread depth than the remainder of
the tyre (the letters TWI are on the side of the
tyre). When this bar is visible, only 1.6 mm of
tread remains and the tyre should be replaced
immediately. Bear in mind that road grip and
the tyre's ability to push water out of the way is
already affected markedly when there is 3-4 mm
of remaining tread.
IMPORTANT!
Tyres with the greatest tread depth should always - irrespective of
rear or front wheel drive - be fitted at the rear.
Contact your closest Volvo dealer to check if you are unsure.
Storage
Wheels should be stored horizontally or suspended, not vertically.

If the same fuse burns out repeatedly, there is
a fault in the component, and you should visit
your Volvo workshop to have it checked.
If an electrical component or function does not
operate it may be because the component fuse
was temporarily overloaded and burned out.
Look in the fuse diagram to locate the affected
fuse. Pull out the fuse and look at it from the
side to see if the curved wire is burned out.
Replace with a new fuse of the same colour
and amperage. The fuse box in the engine
compartment contains a number of spare
fuses. There are also pliers to assist you in
pulling out and replacing the fuses.
Fuses
All electrical functions and components are
protected with a number of fuses to protect
your cars electrical system from damage by
short-circuits or overloads.
Fuses are located in three different locations in
the car:
A - Integrated relay/fuse box in engine
compartment.
B - Fuse box in passenger compartment.
C - Integrated relay/fuse box in the cargo
compartment.

Rustproofing
Rustproofing - check and repair
Your Volvo received a very thorough and complete rustproofing at the
factory. The body consists of galvanized sheet steel. The underbody is
protected by a wear-resistant anti-corrosion compound. Members,
cavities and enclosed sections are sprayed internally with a thin,
penetrating rust inhibitor.
The cars rustproofing is maintained by doing the following:
· Keep the car clean! Wash the underbody with a high-pressure
hose.When high pressure washing - hold the spray nozzle at least
30 cm away from painted surfaces!
· Check and repair eventual rustproofing regularly.
The cars rustproofing does not normally require treatment for approx-
imately 8 years. After that time, it should be treated at three year
intervals. If your car requires treatment, consult your Volvo workshop.
Improvement
If you want to repair the rustproofing yourself, make sure the area is clean
and dry. Hose down, wash and dry the car thoroughly. Use a rustproofing
agent in a spray can or one that is intended for brush application.
Two types of rustproofing agent are available:
a) thin (colourless), for visible places
b) thick, for wear areas on the underbody
Possible repair areas with these agents:
· Visible welds and sheet metal joints - thin fluid
· Underbody - thick fluid
· Door hinges - thin fluid
· Bonnet hinges and catch - thin fluid
When you have finished applying the rustproofing agent, wipe off any
surplus fluid using a cloth moistened with a recommended detergent.
Parts of the engine and suspension strut mountings in the engine
compartment are treated at the works with a wax-based colourless
rustproofing agent. This withstands normal detergents without dissol-
ving and losing its rustproofing ability. On the other hand, if you wash
the engine using aromatic solvents such as turpentine or white spirit
(especially those which do not contain emulsifiers), the protective wax
should be renewed after washing. Your Volvo dealer has such waxes in
stock.

Minor stone chips and scratches
Material:
· Primer in a can
· Paint in a can or a touch-up pen
· Brush
· Masking tape
· If the stone chip has not gone down to the
bare metal and an unpainted colour coat
remains, you can add paint immediately
after removing dirt.
Do as follows if the stone chip went down to
the bare metal:
· Fasten a piece of masking tape over the
damaged surface. Then remove the tape,
removing any paint residue (illustration 1).
· Stir the primer thoroughly and apply using a
fine brush or matchstick (illustration 2).
· When the primer is dry, apply the surface
coat with a brush.
· Ensure that the paint is well stirred and
apply several thin coats allowing it to dry
between coats.
· The procedure is the same for scratches, but
masking tape can be used to protect
undamaged paintwork (illustration 3).
· Wait a day or so and then finish the repair
by polishing. Use a soft rag and apply
lapping paste sparingly.
Remove any paint residue with tape
Colour code
Paint
Paint is an important part of the cars rustproo-
fing and should therefore be checked regularly.
Repair paintwork damage immediately so that it
does not start to rust. The most common types
of paintwork damage that you can repair
yourself are:
· minor stone chips and scratches
· damage on wing edges and doors
When repairing paintwork, the car should
be clean and dry with a temperature above
+ 15°C.
Colour code
Make sure you have the right colour. The
colour code number is on the data plate in the
engine compartment.

WARNING!
After washing: always test the braking so that moisture and
corrosion do not affect the brake pads and impair the brakes!
Depress the brake pedal lightly now and again when driving longer
distances in the rain or slushy snow to warm up and dry the brake
discs and pads. You should also do this when starting in very
damp or cold weather conditions.
Washing
WARNING!
Do not wash the engine when it is still warm. Fire risk!
Wash the car frequently!
Wash the car as soon as it becomes dirty, especially in the winter when
road salt and moisture can lead to corrosion.
Wash the car as follows:
· Thoroughly hose off the dirt on the car underbody.
· Rinse the whole car until the dirt has softened.
· When using high pressure hose:
Ensure that the high pressure hose nozzle does not come nearer than
30 cm from the bodywork. Do not spray directly at the locks.
· Wash with a sponge using a lot of water with or without detergent.
· You can use lukewarm (maximum 35 °C) but not hot water.
· If the dirt is ingrained, you can wash the car with cold degreasing
agent, but then be sure that there is a drain separator where you are
washing the car. When using cold degreasing agent, ensure that the
car is not in direct sunlight or that the paint is warm from sunlight or a
warm engine. Sunlight and heat can cause permanent damage.
Consult your Volvo workshop.
· Dry the car with a clean, soft chamois.
· Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm soap solution.
Suitable detergent:
Car shampoo.
Keep in mind the following:
Always wash off bird droppings from the paintwork as fast as
possible. Bird droppings contain chemicals that affect and discolour
paintwork quickly. The discoloration cannot be polished off.
129
Washing
Cleaning the upholstery
Treating marks on fabric
A special cleaning agent available at your Volvo dealer is recommended
when cleaning fabric upholstery. Other chemicals can impair the fire
retardant qualities of the upholstery.
Treating marks on vinyl
Never scrape or rub a mark. Never use strong stain remover. Wash with
a weak soap solution and lukewarm water.
Treating marks on leather
A special cleaning agent available at your Volvo dealer is recommended
when cleaning leather upholstery.
Use the Volvo leather care kit once or twice a year to preserve supple-
ness and comfort.
Never use strong detergent, petrol, alcohol, white spirit, etc. as such
strong substances can damage fabric, vinyl and leather upholstery.
Cleaning seat belts
Use water and synthetic detergent.
Automatic car wash
An automatic car wash is a simple and fast way of washing the car.
Remember that an automatic car wash can never replace a proper
handwash.
The brushes of an automatic car wash do not fully reach all areas.
During the first months of the cars life it is recommended that you only
handwash the car.
Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the car when you feel the paintwork is matte and when
you wish to give the paintwork extra protection, such as before winter.
The car does not usually need polishing until after one year. It can be
waxed earlier.
Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you begin polishing and/or
waxing. Clean off asphalt and tar stains with white spirit. More
stubborn marks can be removed with fine rubbing paste designed for
paintwork. Polish first with a polish and then wax with fluid or solid
wax. Carefully follow the instructions on the package. Many prepara-
tions contain both polish and wax.
Do not polish or wax surfaces warmer than 45 °C.

Environmental care, Fuel consumption
Environmental care
There are many examples of environmental care within the Volvo field of
activity. We use a chlorine free refrigerant in our climate control systems
which is totally harmless to the ozone layer and which has only a very
limited effect on the greenhouse effect. Asbestos-free brakes, engines with
catalytic converters and compressed natural gas (CNG) drive are other
examples of what we at Volvo Car Corporation are doing for the environment.
Our specific services are also of importance to the environment, such as
using Volvo Genuine parts, maintaining ignition and fuel systems, and
other measures that directly reduce exhaust emission. We would also like to
point out the care taken by our Volvo workshops in regards to handling
environmentally dangerous substances.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter is an additional part of the exhaust system. Its
purpose is to purify exhaust. The converter primarily consists of a housing
with two monoliths that are designed so that the exhaust gases pass through
a honeycomb of channels. The channel walls are lined with a thin layer of
platinum, rhodium and palladium. These metals act as catalysts, i.e. they
participate in and accelerate a chemical reaction without being used up
themselves.
Lambda-sond
TM
(heated oxygen sensor, petrol engines only)
The lambda sensor is part of a management system intended to reduce
emissions and improve fuel economy. An oxygen sensor monitors the
oxygen content of the exhaust gases leaving the engine. These values are
fed into an electronic system that continuously controls the injectors. The
ratio of air to fuel is continuously adjusted. These adjustments create optimal
conditions for efficient combustion, and together with the three-way catalytic
converter reduce harmful emissions (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and
nitrous oxides).
Official fuel consumption figures are based on a standard driving cycle;
EU directive 80/1268 comb. Fuel consumption figures can be altered if the car is equipped
with extra options which affect car weight. The manner in which the car is driven and
other non-technical factors can affect fuel consumption.

Diesel
Fuel system
Diesel engines are very sensitive to contamination. Only use diesel fuel
from well known oil companies. Never use diesel of doubtful quality.
The major oil companies can also offer a special diesel fuel for winter
use. This fuel is much thinner when the temperature is low, which
reduces the risk of waxing in the fuel system.
The risk of condensation building up in the tank is reduced if the tank is
kept well filled.
During filling you should check that the area around the filler pipe is
clean. If you do the refuelling from a tank of your own, you should filter
the fuel.
Avoid spilling onto the paintwork. Wash off any spills with detergent
and water.
Empty tank
No special procedures are required if the tank runs dry. The fuel system
is bled automatically.
RME (Rape Methyl Ester)
·
5% RME may be added to diesel.
Draining condensation water from fuel filter
The fuel filter removes condensation, which could otherwise affect
engine function, from the fuel. The fuel filter should be drained as
specified in the Service and Warranty Manuals, and when you suspect
that the car has been filled with contaminated fuel.
135
Engine oil
Oil grade:
Petrol engines: ACEA A1
ACEA A3 grade oil can also be used.
Note that the same oil can comply with both ACEA A1 and ACEA B1,
regardless of whether it is a mineral, semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil.
For engines in V70 R cars, engine oil which complies with ACEA A3 is
recommended.
Diesel engines: ACEA B4
Note that the same oil can comply with ACEA A3, ACEA B3 and
ACEA B4.
Regardless of whether it is a mineral, semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil.
Do not use extra additives. These can damage the engine.
Castrols® fully synthetic engine oil is recommended for turbocharged
petrol and diesel engines.
Volvo recommends Castrol® oil products.
Changing the oil and oil filter
Your Service and Warranty Manuals contain instructions regarding
suitable intervals for changing oil and oil filters.
Shorter intervals are recommended for driving in adverse conditions*.
*: see page 130
Viscosity (assumes constant air temperature)
For extreme driving conditions that produce abnormally high oil tempe-
ratures or oil consumption, such as driving in mountainous terrain with a
great deal of engine braking or high-speed motorway driving, oil grade
ACEA A3 (petrol engines) is recommended.
* Oils with viscosity 0W-30 and 0W-40 must fulfil the
requirements of ACEA A3 (petrol engines).
136
Engine oil Coolant
Coolant
Never top up with ordinary water only! Use a mixture of half water, half
Volvo coolant all year round.
NOTE! Certain engine components are manufactured of an aluminium
alloy and it is therefore important that Volvo coolant is always used. It
has especially good anti-corrosion properties! When the car is new it is
filled with engine coolant to withstand approximately 35 °C.
Check coolant regularly!
The level should lie between the MIN and MAX marks on the expansion
tank. Top up the coolant if the level falls below the MIN mark.
If you need to top up the coolant when the engine is warm, unscrew the
expansion tank cap slowly so that the overpressure dissipates.
NOTE! The engine must only be run with a well-filled cooling system. If
the system is not well filled, high temperatures can occur, causing a risk
of cracks in the cylinder head.
WARNING!
If you need to top up the coolant when the engine is warm, unscrew
the expansion tank cap slowly so that the overpressure dissipates.
Check engine oil regularly when refuelling
Volvo recommends that the oil level be checked every 2500 km (1500 mi-
les). It is especially important to check the engine oil level during the period
up to the first scheduled oil change. Parkthe car on a level surface and wait
at least five minutes after switching off the engine so that the oil can run
back to the oil sump. The most accurate measurement is made on a cold
engine before starting. Wipe dipstick before check.
V70 R version
The V70-R is also equipped with a system in the combined instrument
panel which warns the driver when the engine oil level is too low.
When the orange warning triangle is visible and the warning message
"OIL LEVEL LOW - FILL OIL" is displayed, top up with one litre of oil.
After filling, check that the oil level is within the marked area on the
dipstick before restarting the engine.
When the red warning triangle is visible and the warning message "OIL
LEVEL LOW - STOP SAFELY/- STOP ENGINE/- SEE MANUAL"
is displayed, top up with at least one litre oil but no more than 1.5 litres.
After filling, check that the oil level is within the area indicated on the
dipstick before restarting the engine.
For more information regarding oil level checking for the V70 R, see
page 30.
The oil level should fall within the markings on the dipstick.
The distance between MAX and MIN on the dipstick corresponds to
approx. 1.5 litres for petrol engines and 2 litres for diesel engines.
If the level is at MIN fill with...
...cold engine: 1.0 litres.
...warm engine: 0.5 litres.
MIN MAX
Approx. 1.5 litres for petrol engines.*
Approx. 2.0 litres for diesel engines.
*Approx. 1.2 litres for the V70 R
WARNING!
Do not spill oil on the hot exhaust pipes. Risk of fire!

MIN
MAX
Washer fluid reservoir
The windscreen, tailgate and headlamp
washers all share the same fluid reservoir. It is
in the engine compartment and has a capacity
of 4.5 litres.
Use washer fluid during the winter so that the
fluid does not freeze in the pump, reservoir
and hoses.
Clutch and brake fluid reservoir
The brake and clutch have the same reservoir.
The level should lie between the MIN and
MAX marks.
Fluid type: Brake fluid DOT 4+.
Check level regularly
Change the fluid every other year or at every
other regular service interval.
NOTE! The fluid should be changed annually
on cars which drive in conditions requiring
hard and frequent braking, driving in mountains
or tropical climates with high humidity.
Replacement is not part of a service schedule
but should be carried out in conjunction with a
service at the Volvo workshop.
Power steering
The level should lie between the MIN and
MAX marks.
Oil grade: Power steering fluid of type
Pentosin CHF 11S or the like.
Check level at every service. Replacing the oil
is not necessary.
NOTE! If a fault occurs in the power steering
(or if the car has no power and is to be towed)
the car can still be steered. Remember that the
steering will be much heavier than normal and
more strength is required to turn the steering
wheel.
138
Battery care
· Do not use normal tapwater. Use distilled or
deionized water (battery water).
· If you wish to charge your battery for any
reason, you must check the fluid level after
charging and top up with water as needed.
· Ensure that the plugs are tight.
NOTE! The number of times the battery is
run flat negatively affects its service life.
Battery
The function and life of the battery are affected
by driving conditions, driving style, number of
starts, climate conditions, etc. For the battery to
function satisfactorily, you should consider the
following:
· Regularly check that the battery fluid level is
correct (A).
· Check all battery cells. Use a screwdriver to
remove the cover. A flashlight is useful for
checking the fluid level. Each cell has a
maximum mark (A).
· If necessary: fill the battery with water to the
maximum level in the battery. NOTE! Do
not fill above the maximum mark (A).
